I am a wicked dragon, and you want me to fall into goodness?

Chapter 111 Life Energy Breakthrough to Level 10! (3.5k)

A whole night has passed.

As the sun rose, Puse flew over the walls of Starfall City, and a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[The immortal bloodline Linus has been slain, and the immortal bloodline clan in Starfall City has been wiped out. An eye for an eye has been earned.]

You have received: a second heart.

[Second Heart: Dual hearts pump blood synchronously, doubling the efficiency of dragon blood circulation. If one heart is severely damaged, the other heart will instantly take over the body's functions, simultaneously triggering a dragon blood rampage, causing attack and defense power to surge by 100% for a short period of time.]

The moment the words left his mouth, a burning pain suddenly shot through Pu Se's chest.

It wasn't the cold, bone-corroding venom of the serpent dragon; instead, it felt like a mass of lava churning within the flesh and blood. The meridians beneath the dragon scales burned, and the body's structure suddenly became disordered and then rapidly reorganized.

He couldn't help but let out a deep dragon roar, and the speed of his wing flapping suddenly increased.

In addition to the steady, beating dragon heart that was originally located on the right side of his chest, a pale blue dragon heart covered with fine scales quietly took shape on the left side of his chest, beating steadily and powerfully in harmony with the original heart.

The power from the pulsating of the two dragon hearts instantly swept through his body, and the explosive force from the blood supplied by the two hearts made him fly several times faster than usual.

The already profound dragon power seemed to have a wider outlet, and the violent aura was further enhanced by a domineering force originating from the bloodline.

Puser could already sense that his life energy had broken through level 10!

He looked down at his chest, and this so-called reward was surprisingly to his liking!

Puse's biggest fear was being killed in one blow, but now that he had a second heart, his ability to survive was even better.

You have obtained: Bloodline Erosion

[Bloodline Corrosion: Your attacks deal 300% additional damage to Immortal Bloodlines, and your Dragonfire can directly suppress their inherent Immortal traits.]

Pu Selong raised an eyebrow. Now that he had received this enhancement, it would be much easier to incinerate such cowardly fellows if he encountered them again.

For him, as long as it makes him stronger and allows him to crush his enemies more thoroughly, even a useless trinket can be kept, let alone such a precise counter to the bloodline's buffs.

The powerful wind from the dragon's wings swept across the sky above the royal court, and the Red Fang Knights guarding the palace immediately bowed in respect upon seeing that it was Puse returning.

Without even sparing them a glance, Puse landed directly in the royal palace with his enormous dragon body.

In the past six months, besides [Dragon Blast], Puse has only improved one talent, which is [Body Size Optimization].

[Body Size Optimization I (Silver): Your body has become more robust, with enhanced muscles in your head, arms, torso, hind legs, and tail.]

Meanwhile, through all his hard work, Puse accumulated more than 25 evolution points.

At this moment, his evolution reserves are synchronized in his mind: [Current evolution value: 35671 points].

"Oh, I accidentally included all the citizens of the Starshine Kingdom."

"As allies in the same camp, how can this not be considered part of our strength?"

"If I encounter an invincible enemy, can't I think of my family and the more than 20 citizens of the Starry Kingdom standing behind me?"

The Star Kingdom is no longer the desolate place it was when it was first built. Although the population has not increased several times over, it has still increased by tens of thousands.

These people are not newborn babies, but citizens who fled from Elia territory and eventually joined the Starshine Kingdom.

This is mostly thanks to Karen; without her, a path would have been cleared on the edge of the Black Dragon Malcolm's territory.

All those who flee will die.

Puse was naturally pleased, as the accumulated evolution points would naturally increase as long as they were left to grow freely without much effort.

"Sigh, Karen has added so many people in less than half a year, unlike me, who has to work hard to figure out how to start a war in order to get evolution points."

As one of Puse's followers, he probably never imagined that the blue dragon he served, who was doing all the hard work to save his people, was actually a beast thinking of reaping his people.

Puse completely regarded the Starry Kingdom as a breeding ground that would provide him with food and allow him to gain evolution points.

As for whether he likes this country or not, it concerns his own vital interests, so he definitely does.

As a blue dragon, even though the country was founded by Kawimas, Puse, as a prince of the Starshine Kingdom, is respected by everyone in the country.

But they didn't feel much of a sense of belonging.

As Kawimas said, this is ultimately a nation composed of humanoid races.

Puse is not one of them.

The Red Fang Knights consist of about 400 people, who have some dragon-like characteristics, but when all 400 of them are thrown into a lake of 20, not even a ripple can be made.

Puse's use of the Starry Kingdom was more about exploitation: using it to provide ample food and to gain more evolution points.

The dragon, in its own way, scrutinized this rising human kingdom.

Suddenly, the sound of armor plates clanging together came from outside the hall.

The Red Fang Knights guarding the temple, who had been standing with their heads bowed, suddenly straightened up.

Compared to the reverence shown when bowing to the zither, there was now a heartfelt enthusiasm.

Light and shadow flickered at the palace gate, and Karen, clad in silver armor covered in dust, strode in.

He was weary from his long journey, but his eyes shone with the light of returning home.

"Princess Karen is back!"

"Your Highness, you're finally back!"

After the knights bowed, a young knight couldn't help but look up, his eyes filled with deep respect.

This great man broke through the blockade of the Black Dragon Territory, forging a path to survival and bringing tens of thousands of refugees from the Elia Territory back to Starshine. In their eyes, he was the undisputed hero and guardian.

Karen raised her hand and lightly touched her breastplate in return, her tone gentle: "No need for formalities, everyone. Thank you for your hard work on duty."

Pu Se sat atop the obsidian platform, his vertical pupils slightly narrowed, his dragon eyes sweeping over the commotion within the hall.

The knights' eyes burned with a passion as bright as a blazing fire.

These guys have no vitality for themselves, but now, when they look at Karen, their eyes and brows reveal genuine support.

This guy has a really high reputation.

Pu Se let out a low hum, and the lively atmosphere in the hall instantly froze.

The knights hurriedly lowered their heads and held their breath, and those who had been surrounding Karen subconsciously stepped back.

Karen turned around, stepped forward step by step to meet the dragon's might, and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness Puse, I have not failed in my mission. I have settled all the refugees in Elia's territory and have come to report back to you."

He still stood up straight, and his calm and reliable demeanor made people unable to help but rely on him.

Pu Se stared at him, feeling no admiration whatsoever. Instead, she thought to herself, "What good is a high reputation if he's still just a burden he's kept around?"

"These people respect and protect him, but in the end, they will all become his evolutionary value."

A wisp of scorching breath escaped from the dragon's nostrils. Puse, too lazy to waste words, simply tossed out, "Understood. Settle the refugees properly. You may leave."

Upon hearing this, Karen did not immediately step back, but instead raised her hand and waved it lightly.

The sound of footsteps of servants and knights could be heard outside the hall, and one after another, neatly bundled wooden crates were carried into the hall.

The heavy boxes made a dull thud when they landed, and when piled up in the hall, they formed a stack several people high.

"Your Highness, these are some gifts I've collected, all of them are for you."

Karen turned to the side to indicate.

The servants immediately pried open the wooden chest at the front, and dazzling gold and silver jewels poured out instantly.

Rubies and sapphires gleamed on the gilded vessels, gold ingots were neatly stacked, and there were armor components inlaid with exotic beast crystals and rare furs, each item exuding considerable value.

As more wooden crates were opened, pearls, jade, mithril ingots, and various rare treasures were piled up on the ground, their brilliance so dazzling that the temple knights could not even look at them.

"These were all obtained from the lair of monsters and can be used for the royal court's expenses or for Your Highness's use."

Knowing that the dragons had always been fond of these dazzling treasures, he specially collected all the spoils he had obtained along the way and presented them to enrich Puse's treasury.

Pu Se's previously half-closed vertical pupils suddenly lit up, and his previously indifferent dragon eyes were now fixed on the rare treasures scattered on the ground, his eyes practically glowing.

His previous resentment towards Karen's reputation had vanished, replaced by a strong desire to possess the treasures.

His powerful front paws pawed at the fullest chest of treasure, and he brought his nose close to it, carefully sniffing the scent of the precious gems before gathering all the scattered treasures in front of him.

The dragon claw parted the gilded vessels and piles of pearls, revealing a cluster of crystal-clear sapphires hidden among them.

The cool, translucent gemstone rubbed against Puse's claws, and an excited murmur immediately escaped his throat as he exclaimed, "There's even a sapphire!"

He suddenly stopped moving, his vertical pupils glancing sideways at Karen, who was standing to the side with her head bowed and waiting for orders, a sense of confusion rising in his heart.

How tempting these glittering treasures are!

Karen obtained it by fighting her way through monster lairs, and she kept it hidden so he wouldn't know.

But Karen insisted on sending it to him.

Dragons have always valued wealth above all else, and they would never willingly give up their acquired riches.

Getting Puse to spit out anything that's been put into the dragon's mouth is harder than climbing to heaven.

Doesn't this guy know?

Pusser stared at him, only to see the guy standing there with a smile playing on his lips.

It wasn't the knights' cautious, obsequious smiles, nor the respectful demeanor during reports.

It was a genuine smile from the bottom of her heart, but her gaze towards Pu Se held a hint of farewell.

Even the weariness in his eyes had faded considerably, as if seeing Puse's obsessive pursuit of treasure was something to be happy about.

Pusser felt uneasy, thinking he had encountered a fool, and gripped the sapphire even tighter with his claws.

After all, if treasure is delivered to your door, why not take it? Why would you return it?

Karen was laughing when she suddenly remembered the scattered messages that had come from the royal court before her departure. Her smile froze on her lips, and her face suddenly darkened.

He quickly stepped forward, bowed, and asked, "Your Highness, I heard on my way back that you were attacked by an immortal bloodline. Is this true?"

Are you injured?

Puse was taken aback by his sudden question, then snorted disdainfully, toying with the sapphire in his dragon claws, his tone carrying the arrogance of a malevolent dragon.

"Are you doubting my abilities?"

"They're just some cowardly, hiding bloodline scum. How dare they try to hurt me?"

Karen was still uneasy after hearing the explanation, and her gaze swept across the hall.

The stone bricks on the ground were flat and shiny, the beams and pillars were undamaged, and even the corners of the hall were clean and new, without any trace of fighting.

This place had already been repaired by Cedric, whose strength was close to legendary, two major levels below Karen's.

Even if Karen gouged out her eyes and pressed them to the ground, she wouldn't notice anything amiss.

He then breathed a slight sigh of relief: "This subordinate has no doubt about Your Highness's strength, it's just that the Crimson Empire's foundation is truly terrifying, I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Karen didn't know that if Puse hadn't been kept in the dark all along, and it had just been an ordinary blue dragon, even if it hadn't died, it would have suffered terribly.

The dagger, forged from the teeth of a serpent dragon and coated with its deadly venom, did indeed pierce Puse's scales, injecting the poison into the blue dragon's body.

However, Puse wouldn't spread the news of his injury carelessly.

This really damages one's dignity.

As long as no one saw it, then he wasn't injured. And Cedric shouldn't be making things up, right?

"Hmph, the scum of the Crimson Empire are nothing but worms hiding in the gutter!"

"Last night, I followed the scent and turned Starfall City upside down. Anything tainted with the aura of the immortal bloodline was burned to ashes by my dragon flames, leaving not even a trace!"

"As for the fate of those immortal descendants—"

Pu Se snorted twice, his face full of disdain, indicating that they had all been killed.

Just as Pu Se was feeling smug, a series of rapid flapping sounds came from outside the palace, and a golden dragon with sail-like wings rushed in.

"Puse! Puse!" Green shook his head, his voice carrying a hint of boasting. "I've driven that golden griffin away."

It caught a glimpse of the silver-armored figure standing in the hall out of the corner of its eye. Its wings suddenly stopped, its swaying head instantly stopped, and it blinked to confirm that it was Karen.
